What one Alhambra historic home looked like in 1888

The Alhambra Source previously wrote about the Alhambra Preservation Group's efforts to lobby for the preservation of historic buildings that were in danger of being torn down. Now there's more information about one of the homes featured in the article.

Part of the APG's lobbying includes archival research into the homes' history. Melissa Michelson shares a newspaper clipping from the group's research of the Victorian home at 403 S. Garfield Ave. It looks like the house dates back to at least 1888!
